[PATCH V8 0/5] Refactor ioctl_fibmap() internal interface

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

This series refactor the internal structure of FIBMAP so that the filesystem can
properly report errors back to VFS, and also simplifies its usage by
standardizing all ->bmap() method usage via bmap() function.

The last patch is a bug fix for ioctl_fibmap() calls with negative block values.


Viro spotted a mistake in patch 4/5 on the previous version, where bmap()
return value was not being propagated back to userland, breaking its ABI.

So, this new version, only has a change on patch 4/5 to fix this problem.


Changelog:

V8:
	- Rebased over linux-next
	- Fix an error in patch 4/5, which led to the wrong value being
	  returned by ioctl_fibmap()
V7:

        - Rebased over linux-next
        - Add parameters names to function declarations
          Reported-by: kbuild test robot <lkp@xxxxxxxxx>
        - Remove changelog entries from patches's commit logs

V6:

        - Add a dummy bmap() definition so build does not break if
          CONFIG_BLOCK is not set
          Reported-by: kbuild test robot <lkp@xxxxxxxxx>

        - ASSERT only if filesystem does not support bmap() to
          match the original logic

        - Fix bmap() doc function
          Reported-by: kbuild test robot <lkp@xxxxxxxxx>

V5:

        - Rebasing against 5.3 required changes to the f2fs
          check_swap_activate() function

V4:

        - Ensure ioctl_fibmap() returns 0 in case of error returned from
          bmap(). Otherwise we'll be changing the user interface (which
          returns 0 in case of error)
V3:
        - Rename usr_blk to ur_block

V2:
        - Use a local sector_t variable to asign the block number
          instead of using direct casting.


Carlos Maiolino (5):
  fs: Enable bmap() function to properly return errors
  cachefiles: drop direct usage of ->bmap method.
  ecryptfs: drop direct calls to ->bmap
  fibmap: Use bmap instead of ->bmap method in ioctl_fibmap
  fibmap: Reject negative block numbers
